‘Top Model Week’ on UPN

America’s Next Top Model has been UPN’s highest-rated show for much of the last couple of seasons. Now, the network is hoping that the show’s past participants will have coattails.

The week of Nov. 7 – the first full week of sweeps – will be “Top Model Week”: Past or current contestants will appear on UPN shows – even Friday Night Smackdown! – each night.

In fact, only a music special honoring Patti LaBelle on Nov. 8 and Everybody Hates Chris (the only UPN show doing better than Model this fall) on Nov. 10 will be model-free.

For example, Monday comedies will all feature guest appearances by past contestants on Nov. 7. Season three’s Norelle Van Herk will pop up on One on One, followed by Mercedes Yvette on All of Us, Toccara Jones on Girlfriends, and Keenyah Hill on Half & Half.

The week will end with season four’s Michelle Deighton, an aspiring pro wrestler, on Smackdown!
